Ep. 7 - New Found Confidence

I am so disappointed right now, not just with myself but more in the judge's decision because they chose Tara over me, that is the last person I wanted to be standing with. I think if Tara wins she will just go back to being a dancer because I feel that is her true passion, not modeling. I also hope Rebecca doesn't win because she only has one look and Canada's Next Top Model needs to be versatile, they also need to be a role model who Rebecca is not, she had sex in the top model house which I feel is extremely inappropriate. I just hope that Sinead wins because she is the only girl other than myself that I can picture being Canada's Next Top Model. It just sucks because I tried my best in every single photo shoot but it never showed in my eyes, I still don't know what I was doing wrong, I thought I followed direction very well this week unlike Rebecca who couldn't even do what they asked of her. I am so grateful for this entire experience, it has changed my life. I am a much stronger person because of it, I have a new found confidence in myself even though the judges didn't see that. I am so proud of myself for making it this far, but at the same time I wanted to win so badly. This isn't the last of Cori though you'll see me in a magazine or on the runway I guarantee it, I won't give up my dream because it is the only thing I can see myself succeeding in.

I rooted for you in the beginning but I cannot stand they way that you never do anything wrong .. rebecca didn't follow instruction and I did.  You better develop a thick skin or you'll be a doormat for the rest of your life.. you're a gorgeous girl and you already are a model to alot of people but you've got to develop the model personality too I truly believe you can do it but you've got to focus more on your short comings and leave others to them <3 all the best

Wow Cori, yesterday's episode was a huge surprise. I definitely didnt think that you would go home. I was pretty sure it would be Tara for sure seeing that Tia had improved and Tara was still the same (not very good). You improved a lot this week too! I feel that the choice the judeges made wasn't a very good one. However, I know that you will ignore what they all think and eventually become a model anyways. Best of luck!

geniusdan says:

Unreal.......... I can't get over the shock an disappointed..... I really had it in my mind that you would be CNTM....... what a major upset..... no idea what the judges we're thinking.... but you guys made a horrible call on knocking Cori out..... she is by far the best girl for it........... and looks better then any of the girls left..... in anycase never give up on you're dreams Cori.... you got that thing.... and are by far very adorable an gorgeous :)... and are still CNTM in my view ..... Good Luck Sweetie....

gemma3 says:

Um, no.  The whole decision was perfect.  Looking at your pictures and the way you act, you need to go home.  So, having "sex in the top model house"  sounds so foolish.  It's not like she's having sex with differnet people, it's her boyfriend.  PLUS, you SMOKE!!  Geez, you need a reality check.  Tara, is cool but the top model title belongs to either Rebecca or Tia...those are some cool girls. 

lovelysam says:

Rebecca's not just a "one-look" girl. She's someone who can make it in the world of fashion and probably get a lot more jobs because the high fashion designers and clothes lines like Karl Lagerfeld, Balenciaga, Prada, Marc Jacobs, etc. will book Rebecca because her look is so different. Cori, your look is ordinary, I highly doubt you'll be as successful as Rebecca.

Milan2504 says:

Ah Cori, I must say that I wasn't shocked at all by the judges decision.  You are too timid to be a model, and it seems as if you have absalutely no confidence.  Maybe you should grow up a bit first, and then try to persuit modeling again.  And by saying Rebecca has only one look; now that's the pot calling the kettle black.  I haven't seen a difference in ANY of the photographs of you.

Alana123 says:

Just because you didn't win the competition doesn't mean you can't go far. You were in the top 5 where millions of would-be models would love to be. Just be assertive and hand out your portfolio every chance you get. And if your gonna quit smoking in your lifetime it's gotta be now, it might effect your modelling especially nowadays you know how models have to be, perfect skin and perfect health. Good luck!

Liko says:

Hey Cori

I'm not really a fan of you and I am not going for you in this competition. You are a gorgeous girl but sometimes the way you act isn't really nice. Especially yesterday when Rebecca had her boyfriend over, I know that it is very inappropriate for her to do that but you shouldn't have even thought of showing that picture to her boyfriend. Next time mind your own business!

Cori, you were my favorite model, and Im really sad to see you go. I thought at the beginning, you kind of snuck up on the girls, and surprised them all after a while, when you were truly at the top. You began to be a real threat to the other girls. I thought you tried so hard and you didn't deserve to leave. I mean, isnt CNTM about the journy to the top? And this week, you made a huge improvement with your confidence. You're picture wasnt perfect, but neither were the other girls'. You were such a great role model, and I hope you keep modeling.

Good luck. =)

Lyndz101 says:

You were my favorite I was rooting for you to win tehe show I am so disappointed that the judges kcik you off :( but I know I'l see you one day on a magazine or on a runway you are so beautiful!  have faith your dreams will one day come true.

i can't believe you got kicked off instead of tara! you are GORGEOUS. don't let anyone tell you otherwise. you're representing the valley SO WELL. everywhere you go it will be all about you when you become a top model.. no doubt you'll be more famous than any of the others on the show!

don't give up hope, and keep doing what you're best at!

lotsa love

valley WHAT?

_Renee_ says:

Cori!!! You were and still are my favorite out of all the girls in CNTM. You are the sweetest girl, you are beautiful and you seem like a very intelligent woman. I live in Sudbury, and I can relate to you. I was really suprised when I found out that there was a girl from Sudbury in CNTM. I support you all the way. I watched every episode, every week, of CNTM. I usually watch it more than once too. I think you are very lucky for being in that top model house and having that unbelievable chance. I believe that you have the potential to acheive your modeling career. Keep going girl!!! Fight for it!!! You defenitly got what it takes!!!

_Renee_ says:

OK, I'm no sure if the judges are going to read this, but I love all the judges, you guys are great, but seriously, you made a real big mistake, Cori should of seriously stayed instead of Tara. I took a look at her pictures and compared them to Cori's, and it is commen sense that Cori deserve to be in here. Tara is awkward...Look at her pics you'll see what I meen. Cori knows what she's doing...I am upset by the decision...

Hey Cori... Keep your chin up! you are truely an amazing model! I was so sad see you go, i almost cried! lol hapyfully you read this! I actually went to school with you! we don't know each other b/c we hung out with different crowds. But seeing you on CNTM was cool cause you showed what valley girls can be! VALLEY WHAT! LMAO! J/K. I just wanted to say is you really inspire girls here in the valley that you can do whatever you set your mind toand that a small town girl can be something!  KEEP UR CHIIN UP CUZ YOU WILL BE A MODEL!

Cori!  You soooo should have won. You're beautiful!!!

cteffany says:

hey Cori,  I was so mad when they let u go!!  Ur the only reason why I watched that show.  Now I don't care about the show.  They said u were fake--they were fake!!  I don't even remember any of there names!  Well chin-up and hope to see u again when u make it big!!

Hortense says:

I watch both CNTM and ANTM a lot and believe you are what they call a catalog model (i.e., cute). CNTM however is looking for an international runway model who can stomp alongside Gisele et al; only Tara and Rebecca have the height, the walk, and most importantly the confidence. My personal favourite though is Sinead as she has an unreal face that steals every scene, plus a stellar personality that we should be promoting as quintessentially Canadian.

If they want a cover model, Sinead would be the one.

jojoCee says:

I think you are a gorgeous girl and very sweet but I also think the judges made the right decision to send you home. Somehow, you just don't seem like you can take the criticism. I don't know how you really are but on tv, you seem very timid, bland and one dimensional. Certainly, Rebecca doesn't seem to have much variety in her facial expressions but you can't deny that she's got a pretty strong look. I think you need more time to practice and perfect a signature look for yourself and for heaven sakes, grow a backbone. You should be proud of your accomplishments. Don't cry all the time. Good luck in the future and maybe one day, Canada will see you again on a magazine cover.

shlee_bee says:

Don't give up on your dreams! I was so sad to see you go, but am just as optimistic as you to see you on the cover of a magazine, or on tv! You should get chummy with Jeanne Beker! She loved you, tehe!!

Thanks for inspiring us "regular" ol' girls!!

I think you should have stayed instead of Tara because you have been consistently taking better photos than her. At the same time however, you have shown that you are not yet mature enough to be Canada's Next Top Model. You should realize that you aren't such a fantastic role model yourself and stop pointing fingers at others--mainly Rebecca. First, sex is a normal thing and if you were in the same situation, you would probably have done the same thing. Secondly, it's none of your business anyway if she had sex there or not. How you handled the situation with the photo of Rebecca kissing another guy definitely shows that you are not a perfect role model yourself. Maybe, just maybe, if you had spent less time minding other peoples' business, and spent more time focusing on yourself, you would have still remained in the competition. With that being said, I still wish you good luck in everything you do.
annaalee says:

Cori,

The way you conducted your last blog was not only unprofessional, but it was immature and you would never make it in the business like that.  Would you talk about all the girls you worked with like that if someone got a job over you?  Would you expose their secrets in interviews?  You are a very beautiful girl, but you have a lot of growing up to do.  Even at your age, you should know better.

You weren't being confident, you were being cocky.

101665 says:

Cori, Your Awesome, and a great model. I Will look for you in the future. You're Right having sex in a model house is gross and i agree that Sinead should be CNTM's Next Top Model, Now That your gone:(, she's a a great model like you. GOOD LUCK

-Cori

P.s. my names Cori too.:P

With You out of the competition, Sinead is now the only person that i can Imagine winning. And having sex in the Top Model house is seriously unprofessional, disgusting, and inappropriate.

sweety003 says:

Hi Cori,

 I think you should have 100% stayed instead of Tara and the judges have made a big mistake. Tara can not be a top model because in her pictures..her face expressions are boring and she doesn't care if she wins this competition and she said that herself before the elimination of Ep. 7. You were my favourite in this competition and you are soo beautiful. I give you the best of luck in your future plans to be a model :)


Ayla72 says:

Cori You are truly an amazing person with a stunning face and body! I rooted for you all along and like so many others was shocked and disappointed to see you go!  I feel  that you tried very hard but I must say that all those tears really made you seem weak and whiney.  Life is rough and you can't water up at every little thing, especially if your going to be a top model! I will miss seeing you in the last episode and will be totally disappointed if Tara wins! Good luck in the future, I hope to see you once again on CNTM when you have thicker skin, for I know you'll win the second time around!

tay106 says:

Cori I am so dissapointed that you didn't win. I never really liked the Canada version of Top Model but I loved this season as it was a joy to watch you compete. I am sure that you will be able to continue to model in the future and I hope to see you very soon in a magazine because talent like yours shouldn't be wasted.

CMuise1 says:

I think part of the reason you got kicked off was that maybe the judges saw the real Cori with the stunt you pulled with Rebecca and the pictures. Maybe they don't want you to be representing that sort of image of a model they'll be sending across Canada. It was low. You just continued that image of yourself with your comments about Rebecca as you left the house. It shows just how much class you really lack. I wanted you to stay at the beginning but with all your whining and what appeared to be such "sucking up" with everyone you meet and allllllllll the booh hooh, poor Cori stuff going on, I couldn't wait to see you leave. Grow up. The world does not revolve around only Cori. Learn to stop complaining and stop the tears .

luvadane says:

Cori...I'm a little bit behind, just watched last weeks episode yesterday and just wanted to say that I was absolutely blown away when Jay said Tara's name instead of yours.

I think you are a very beautiful and sweet young lady. I was cheering for you the whole time, I just wished you would've shown more confidence in yourself the whole time - own yourself, love yourself and be proud of yourself.

(I'm sure there are a lot of people that love you and are very proud of you). Congratulations on making it to the top 5 - for what it's worth I think you were sent home WAY too early!

I wish you ALL the best in your future....I'm sure whatever you do you'll be successful - GOOD LUCK, CORI !!

--cutie-- says:

ill be honest, you weren't one of my faves but, tara should of gone home! they gave tara to many chances, if it weren't for the episode where no-one got sent home, tara would be voted off. theres something missing about her. anyway, i wish you stayed, your SOO pretty!

In all seriousness, why does it matter if Rebecca has sex in the Top Model house? Sex is perfectly natural, and really, it's not like she did it on the couch. Moreover, since when have models been good role models for children? To model in high fashion, it is imperative that one is skinny. That image, whether attained by birth or by a disorder, really has no positive effect on a child. Modeling is an adult world, so sex is just a part of it.

xles_leyx says:

rebecca is not a "one look girl" .

you are just bitter because you were sent home.

you should of just stayed out of peoples business and stayed open minded.

oh and PS

sex is a normal thing. and i don't see how its inappropriate to have it with HER boyfriend in a locked room where the cameras couldn't see it.

im sure if u hadn't announced it on tv no one would of known and you wouldn't of looked like a jerk.

..kelly.. says:

Awe.You should have won!!

you were the only reason i watched!

Courtsid says:

I don't think the judges should have kept you!! I am kinda glad you are gone!! I think Rebecca will win!! Sorry!!

I agree with your comments on Rebecca oohlala730. Cori, you honestly do need to stop pointing the finger at others. In the real world of modeling, you cannot be like that and if you plot revenge on others it just makes you seem more childish than them because you are attacking back. Just worry about yourself and not the other girls you deal with in the future if you continue to pursue modeling.  BTW  I hope everyone is with me in saying congratulations to Rebecca on becoming Canada's Next Top Model! :)

keitysja says:

Cori, you are not confident and although you are pretty, you do not have a model look

What you said about Tara or Rebecca is i believe because of jealousy, since they are both older and more experienced. instead of crying all the time and being concerned about Rebecca having sex, you should have been concentrating on your own potential

Honey don't listen to anyone haha you are GORGEOUS like sooo beautiful. I made my boyfriend watch the show most weeks, and we both thought you were the hottest!  I feel bad saying it but I knew Rebecca would win a) cuz she has the height and b) look in a high fashion magazine and clearly, she fits in BUT BUT you're still waaay prettier it's just the modelling world is different :(  I wish you ALL the best in the future, keep modelling or acting something cuz a face as pretty as yours needs to be seen :)   BYE

Modely says:

Cori, I feel so bad that you got eliminated. I feel so bad for you. You would have made a very good model. I hope to see you again!!!!!

dbunny69 says:

Hey Cori! I was so hoping you would win I thought that after Gina left you had no other competition and you'd win for sure. Don't give up on modeling you'll do wonderful since you are such a natrual beauty. I'm actually married to your cousin Robert Evens, Margeret Weber's grandson. I had my entire paralegal class rooting for you. Are you coming to the family picnic on August 12 ? I hope so I want to see your kick ass ring. Keep smiling - you know that your beautiful just have more confidence about your beauty.

Cori,

I wish you had won! And you probably won't read my comment because there are already 41 other friggen ones. Lots of people say I look like you! (yay!!) woot woot. Anyway, you rule!

well,

BIBI!! from : CNTMLoverr...(not sure if I should put my real name) lol!

MiszDiva says:

Hi Cori,

you are a big inspiration for me because i am the same age as you and i thought i was to young to try to become CNTM but know that i seen you and how far you went and how far you have come from the beggining good for you girl and i root for you!! BOO YAH CORI YOU GO GIRL!!!*<3

One of your biggest fans!!!

MiszDiva

queenx says:

i just adore you........

i wish that you won because you were totally the best....

judges were blind.....love you

Heyy Cori,

I definintly thought that you were going to be CNTM. It was such a disipointment to me and my friends since we are also from Val Caron and we really wanted to see someone who deserves winning, (like you) to win! I really thought you always did such a good job in the photo shoots, but I had no idea why the judges didnt like them?! You are so nice and thats totally awesome, you inspire me becuase your not like most people, your young and you had gotten so far in the compitition. Im still young so you might see me on Canadas Next Top Model in a few years. I hope you get a chance to read this... Keep presuing your dreams and everything will turn out ok :)

A hometown fan,
